“Cathy was absolutely incredible! We returned home from 10 days away on vacation to three happy animals and a spotless house. Cathy provided frequent text and photo updates of how our fur babies were doing throughout the entire trip which to help to set our minds at ease. We will not hesitate to book with her in the future and your pets would be lucky to have her stay over. ?”
“Mikayla was wonderful taking care of our dog at our home. She provided daily updates, and pictures while we we're away. Even through in a load of bedding and ran our dishwasher for us. Highly recommend! We'll definitely ask her back in the future.”

About: We are in a senior community that only allows up to medium dogs. We have had dogs for over 20 years but currently don't have a dog of our own and love to have dog guests. We would love to have sleepovers to get our fix of licks and wags! Your fur baby would have run of our house (furniture included) and will be walked multiple times a day. I work Monday through Friday, but my husband is home all day. Other than occasional trips to the store or out to eat, our fur guests are not left home alone. We only take one family at a time, up to two dogs. We would love to be grandparents to your fur children! My husband is home all day and loves having a dog companion to share his day. Walks around the neighborhood and watching TV are a typical day. All dogs in the community must be leashed and everyone is courteous. If your dog would is shy or anxious, we can walk in our backyard. If outgoing, we can visit the neighbors.
“Payton was awesome! She sent lots of pictures, helped with learning how to walk my dog on a leash, and provided great tips and tricks for training. I will definitely be calling her again.”
“Kenny took care of our three dogs and one cat for a week while we were on vacation and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. His attention to each pet's needs, the way he engaged with each of them, his patience with our 17 year old spicy chihuahua (with special needs) was more than I could have hoped for. Kenny was always communicative, sent lots of pictures, asked all the questions you hope your sitter will ask, and took amazing care of our pets and our home. Having him care for our crew made our vacation so much more enjoyable because I knew I didn't need to worry about how things were going at home. Honestly - if I could give Kenny more than 5 stars, I would - he's the best!”

She communicates often and therefore we do not worry at all when he is with her! I highly recommend DeDe!!”
About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.
About: I grew up with a best friend who loved animals and had everything from prairie dogs to parrots. I love all animals and am very experienced with exotics as well. I have a 4 year old Chiweenie, Fitzgerald, who is my buddy. I want to be able to provide care for your pets like I get to for Fitzy. I will be sure to follow any directions left to keep your pets in the same habits. I also am open to creating a schedule for your pet.
About: Hello, and thank you for trusting me with the care of your pet. I have over 20 years experience with dogs of all kinds. I would be happy to assist you with drop-ins, walks, or overnight pet care. I will treat your pet as if they were mine, giving them the loving care and patience they deserve. I am available most days of the week. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet when you are unavailable. Pets that stay at my home should be non-aggressive and potty trained. They will receive tons of love and attention, and plenty of play time.
“This was my first time leaving my pets with a stranger. Usually have family or friends dog sit for me. My dogs instantly liked Reagan on our meet & greet. My dogs were in good care for the week we were on vacation. Both of my dogs are young, under 2. Reagan seemed to enjoy their puppy/hyper personality. Thank you Reagan!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, I recently lost my 11 yr old lab Aro and missing the unconditional love of a dog. I can’t get enough of furry cuddles and playtime—I would love spoil yours too! From pet sitting the neighbors animals as a kid to in-home pet sitting for family and friends as an adult. There is no greater love than the unlimited love from our fur babies. I am retired, so very flexible to work with your schedule. I can make multiple visits to your home each day, have them come and play at my house. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I love playing ball or frisbee with them. If they prefer walks I have a great neighborhood to walk in. They will mostly be indoors snuggling with me. If your pets prefer their own home I am also available to stay in your home or drop in.
About: I volunteered for 2 1/2 years at a local pet shelter and have been pet sitting for 10 years now! It doesn’t even feel like a job to me!! Sadly, my dog (boxer) has crossed the rainbow bridge but I have grown up around pitbulls, Rottweilers, mastiffs, Chinese cresteds and yorkies! I also love any opportunity I can to take care of a feline! I would love the opportunity to care for your animal and help keep him or her as happy as can be! I work a full time job, Monday-Friday so my availability is mainly evenings and weekends. I am available for overnight stays as long as you are okay with me going to work during the week! I am in office 3 days and can work from the house 2 days a week. I follow all house rules and make sure the pet gets the same love and attention they do on a daily basis! The priority is making sure they are happy and comfortable!

Mary D.Star Sitter
“Mary & Nick don't "treat" their dogs like family....they are members of their family. They have raised and cared for them like you would any member of your family. I would not have any reservations about leaving an animal in their care.”

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

“Maryanna is an incredible pet sitter who treats every animal as if they were her own. She's patient, loving, and extremely dependable. You can truly see how much she cares-my pets are always excited to see her! I have complete peace of mind knowing they're in such capable and compassionate hands.”

Holli W.Star Sitter
“Holli watched my bearded dragon Fat Boy for a week while we were on vacation. Considering that reptiles are not the normal pet that people watch, I appreciated that she took notes on how to care for him properly. More importantly, when our dragon didn't eat, she messaged right away to make sure everything was okay.”

Alisa R.
“I've known Alisa for years, and if there's one thing that has always stood out, it's how deeply she cares for animals. She's looked after my dogs many times, and they absolutely adore her, probably because she gives them as much love and attention as I do (maybe more, but don't tell them that!). She’s gentle, reliable, and genuinely joyful to be around pets. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just “watch” dogs, she connects with them. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or just sitting outside in the sun, she’s happiest when she’s got a furry friend by her side. She always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you can’t do better than Alisa! She’s one of those rare people who animals just seem to gravitate toward—and once they do, she makes sure they still get all the snuggles and love they deserve!”
Chloe U.
“Chloe is a champion pet sitter. She's so loving and deeply caring of my fur babies when I'm away. I don't trust anyone else but her to be with them when my family is out of town. She will go the extra mile with my dog and my kitty, nursing my dog through his fear of storms and giving him special attention. She's attentive to my kitty, too, who honestly doesn't need/want any care, but Chloe gives it to her, anyway. She follows our instructions to the tee, and gives us updates and pictures, which I appreciate enormously. Chloe is a blessing to our family because we would not be able to enjoy ourselves while away if our babies weren't so looked after.”
